Chapter 016: The clue to the collapse of Steward Xu
After Zhu Xinzhi left, Pei Xie Tang went to the ancestral hall to kneel, Xie Yijiang was ruthless this time to punish her, so he let the family hold a pen and paper, and he was not allowed to sleep until he finished writing. Pei Xie Tang flipped through "The Female Ring" casually, fortunately, this thing is not very long, and if you really want to write it, it is estimated that it will be very fast.
It's just that she can't put pen to paper.
She can't imitate Xie Chengyin's handwriting, but if her handwriting falls on paper, it will really be a big flaw!
After all, Miss Xie Jiasan can write exactly the same words as the county lord of Tai'an, isn't that shocking?
Pei Xie Tang knelt until the middle of the night, and after the basket came back from the medical girl Qi Meng, he didn't find her in the courtyard. Barry knew about this and hurried to the ancestral hall to take a look, Pei Xie Tang was kneeling and dozing, his head little by little, like a chicken pecking rice.
"Miss!" The basket was amused and annoyed: "Why don't you hurry up and write?" ”
"You've come just in time for the basket." Pei Xie Tang woke up from his dream, grabbed the basket like a savior and begged: "Good basket, you can copy it for me, I really don't want to write." ”
"Okay, the slave will help the young lady write." The basket was particularly refreshing this time, and he didn't dare to help Pei Xie Tang get up, but hurriedly handed the pill bowl to Pei Xie Tang: "Miss, drink the medicine first, and when it gets cold for a while, the medicinal properties will be greatly reduced." Miss has always been messing around since she was a child, and she was punished by the master for copying books, all of which were done by slaves and maids, but I didn't expect that although Miss didn't remember some things, she didn't forget it. ”
She giggled, clearly amused.
Pei Xie Tang breathed a sigh of relief, and let her sit on the futon under his knees, while he knelt down on the cold floor.
"Miss, it's cold on the ground!" The basket was stunned and looked at her like hell.
Pei Xie Tang was inexplicable: "How can you write if you don't sit?" ”
The basket looked at her with disgust: "The slave has always been squatting to write, hasn't it always been like this?" ”
"Smack-" Pei Xie Tang listened, raised his hand and slapped himself. This Xie Chengyin is too bad to say, such a good girl in the basket depends on her, why doesn't she know how to cherish it at all? After squatting for a long time, people are tired and panicked, not to mention that they have to write, how did Xie Chengyin do it?
The basket was startled, and hurriedly grabbed her hand: "Miss, why are you beating yourself so decently?" ”
"It's okay, I should fight." Pei Xie Tang held her hand and said sincerely: "Basket, I really wronged you in the past, thank you very much." Don't worry, I will never let you suffer any more grievances in the future, I guarantee that this is the last time you copy "The Female Ring". ”
"As long as the young lady is well, the slave is more important than anything else." The basket was teary-eyed when he said this.
For many years, the young lady has never thanked her, let alone thanked her. Now the young lady is really getting better and better!
As soon as Pei Xie Tang saw the tears in the basket, his head hurt, and he reached out and scratched her nose: "Crying and laughing, puppy peeing!" Basket, you are not ashamed! ”
"Miss laughed at me again." The basket was so ashamed that it turned red.
She glanced at Pei Xie Tang quietly, but the smile on the corner of her mouth was getting bigger and bigger, I don't know if it was her illusion, I always felt that after the young lady woke up this time, people became more cheerful than before.
Also, in the past, in order to attract the attention of Young Master Wen, Miss always wore heavy makeup all day long, making herself a ghost and not a ghost, but now Miss doesn't apply grease and powder, but looks much fresher. Under the candlelight, the young lady's skin is like clotted fat, it is really very good-looking, if this appearance is seen by Young Master Wen, maybe Young Master Wen will change his mind......
Pei Xie Tang knelt for a while, only to feel that the floor hurt his knees, Xie Chengyin's body was no better than her steel and iron bones, and she gradually couldn't bear it.
There was no one around, Pei Xie Tang spread his clothes on the ground, and changed from kneeling to sitting on the ground.
Dragging his chin and looking at the basket to copy seriously, his eyes fell on the medicine bowl in her hand, Pei Xie Tang asked, "Why did you go to Qi Meng for so long?" ”
"Doctor Qi was called over by her wife, and the slave waited for a while." The basket turned back, and his eyes were calm: "However, Miss guessed well, after the medicine Qi Medical Lady saw it, she said that the medicine was moved, not the one she prescribed, there were two more medicines in it, hook kiss and throat lock, if you take too much, Miss will become the same as before." The slave maid took the medicine again from the Qi doctor, and then boiled the medicine and sent it to the young lady. Miss, you said, this medicine was sent by Steward Xu, will it be ......?"
"Who else but him?" Pei Xie Tang sneered.
This housekeeper of the Xie family is really bold, he dares to murder Miss!
The basket was thinking about it all the way over, and after being affirmed by Pei Xie Tang, he couldn't help but say hatefully: "This old immortal has relied on the grace of saving his life to the master, and he is simply blind!" ”
"He saved my father?" Pei Xie Tang's eyes rolled, this was the second time he had heard this.
The basket nodded: "Yes, many years ago, the master went to his hometown in Mozhou to save his relatives, and when he came back, he was robbed by bandits, and Steward Xu was stabbed for the master, although he was not injured in the critical situation, but the old man cared about the old feelings, believed in him in everything, listened to him in everything, and promoted him to be the housekeeper of the Xie family." He used to be just a reading boy with the master. ”
"What are those bandits trying to do?" Pei Xie Tang lowered his eyebrows.
The basket shook his head: "Who knows what these murderous demons are trying to do without blinking, hurting Steward Xu, maybe they were afraid of their lives, so they robbed some money and ran away." ”
It's not logical!
Pei Xie Tang's hand lit the table again and again.
She has been at the border all the year round, and she has seen many horse thieves and mountain thieves, and she has been ordered to exterminate these thieves in the past. In the first few years, it was not peaceful, but the control of the Eastern Continent was very strict, one person was a thief, the whole family was imprisoned, ordinary people did not dare to do it, and most of the people who could occupy the mountain as kings were outlaws. These outlaws never treat human life as human life, and they almost commit crimes, so where do they care about hurting a life? Besides, if you hurt someone, you just grab a little money, which is not the style of a thief at all.
What's the matter, they will also tie people up and ask their families for ransom!
This is very strange!
Pei Xie Tang lowered his head, and for a while, a psychedelic smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
She knew where to start, and sacrificed this Steward Xu to the banner of revenge that she had erected after her rebirth!
"Miss, what should we do in the future? Mrs. and the eldest lady can't tolerate the young lady, and the old man always ignores the young lady, and now he has offended Steward Xu...... "The basket is worried."
Pei Xie Tang held his chin, his eyes were shining: "What are you afraid of, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it." They want to harm me, but I want to see if it's a foot tall or a foot high! ”
Seeing that she was confident, the basket was very uneasy in her heart, but she didn't dare to hit Pei Xietang's confidence, and finally swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.
The night is deeper......
The basket has been copied until the fifth watch, and finally finished copying the "Female Ring" ten times, Pei Xie Tang held a thick stack of paper, only to see that on the white paper, the basket Juanxiu's block letters were neat and neat, quite good-looking. She couldn't help but look at the basket with admiration, there are not many servants who can read, and I am afraid that there are even fewer who can write well, this girl is really good!
"Basket, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed you wrote it. It's so well written! Pei Xie Tang hugged the basket's shoulders and pinched her fleshy little face affectionately.
The basket glanced at her in disgust: "Miss can praise herself if she wants to, the slave's words are written according to Miss's words!" ”
Pei Xie Tang became happier and happier, her eyes rolled, and she thought of a brilliant idea.
Since the basket is what she taught, the basket will write the place where she needs to write in the future, so she doesn't have to worry about being debunked.
But she can't be really lazy, she has to take advantage of no one to find out, and quickly imitate Xie Chengyin's handwriting like something!
After copying the "Women's Ring" in the basket, he hurriedly sent it to Xie Yijiang. Xie Yijiang looked at it, scolded the basket again, and finally allowed Pei Xie Tang to get up. Pei Xie Tang sat on the ground all night, sleepy and hungry, and when she returned to her room, she was steaming breakfast in the big kitchen, and the heat coming out was mouth-watering, so she slipped in.
Today, the Xie family ate cat's eyes, mung bean cakes, and white-flour steamed buns with four small snacks of sour crispy noodles in the morning, no one paid attention, Pei Xie Tang took four steamed buns, fished out some sour and crispy radish strips from the jar, and then pulled the basket back.
The basket was afraid of being discovered, so he was nagging all the way, but when he closed the door, he saw Pei Xie Tang eating wolf, and he couldn't help but have red eyes with sadness.
"Miss, eat more." She didn't eat a bite, and handed Pei Xie Tang the steamed bun that Pei Xie Tang gave her.
Pei Xie Tang had two steamed buns and half a plate of side dishes, and he didn't eat at all, seeing that this little girl was reluctant to eat the white-flour steamed buns, he thought of the basket crying and shouting during the day that Fan's deducted the silver money in their yard, causing the master and servant to not even have rice to eat, probably the little girl hadn't eaten such a good steamed bun for a long time. But Rao is like this, she still thinks about her young lady all the time, which really hurts Pei Xie Tang to the bone.
She patted her stomach and said with a smile: "You eat, if I'm hungry, I'll find food myself." I'm getting better, and with my skills, do you think they can stop me? ”
"But if Madame had known, she would have told her that Mademoiselle had stolen things,...... Basket sighed.
Pei Xie Tang smiled: "Don't worry, she doesn't dare." If she goes to sue, won't it be tantamount to telling my father that she has left my daughter with no food? ”
The basket suddenly realized, and finally picked up the steamed bun in his hand and ate it.
She has also been hungry for a long time, and she hasn't eaten steamed buns for many years, and the fragrance of white noodles spreads in her mouth, arousing people's appetite, and she is no better than Pei Xie Tang to see where to go.
Pei Xie Tang didn't sleep all night, got something to pad his stomach, and fell asleep. I slept quite well this night, and when I woke up again, it was already three poles of the sun, and noon was almost over.
The basket was taking a piece of light blue soft satin, and he was sitting in the room and cutting, with a sewing basket beside him, but he was making clothes. Seeing Pei Xie Tang get up, she smiled: "Miss, tomorrow for Young Master Wen's birthday banquet, the slave maid has made new clothes for Miss, Miss must wear them!" ”
